The courts must confine themselves to receiving evidence from the parties, as provided for by law, without making any effort in favour of or against the accused so as to preserve their impartiality.
El juez debe limitarse a recibir las pruebas de las partes, con arreglo a la ley, pero sin hacer esfuerzo alguno en pro o en contra del acusado, a fin de que conserve su independencia de criterio.
